The Big Day
The whole graduation buzz has finally died down.
The folks have left and suddenly I feel homesick all over again.
The trip to Sydney was great but too too short.
I only had time to meet up with a coupla friends in which I could actually sit and have a decent chat with. The rest of them all came on the big day and being the busy mad day that it was, could only spare a few minutes to catch up and take TOO MANY photos with.
Can't feel face...can't feel cheeks.
Highlights:
-Midnight Pancake feast with the girls
-Seeing beautiful, happy, friendly faces on the day. MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME!
-Trina's card (so sweet I think I go cry now), Pam's flowers, Laita and PL's pressies.
-Recieving my cert from the Pro chancellor, who said "I am so glad to see your major is in Physiology, because that was my major too."
-Discovering that I had accidentally deleted all my graduation photos off the digicam
-Many nice swanky dinners with the family (being the poor student that I am, swanky resturants are just a no-go)
-The late night post-parents-have-gone-to-bed escapades with the bro
-Dinner with the family and the boys @ chinatown
-Mad shoe shopping spree with mom
-Being pampered by the folks....mmm, I think anyone and everyone who has ever been away will know what a lovely, sedate, totally dependant feeling it is when you don't have to make decisions and let them make them all.
Bliss.
They could have put me in a wheel chair and tube fed me for all I care.
Ahh...I am a degree holder, offically. WOO-HOO!
